Deva Katta to direct Akhil?

If there is one major speculation going around these days in the film circles, that would be Akhil Akkineni’s much anticipated launch into Tollywood. Son of star actor Nagarjuna and grandson of the acting legend ANR, Akhil’s debut was long contemplated. There were many directors speculated to direct his debut, the names involve the likes of Puri Jagannath and Trivikram.

However, the latest update is that Deva Katta is likely to direct the debutante. Katta, who is currently set to arrive with film AutoNagar Surya that interestingly stars Akhil’s step brother Naga Chaitanya, is most likely to take up this honor.

The film that will launch Akhil will most likely be a love story, apt for his chocolate boy innocent looks. The other details of the cast and crew are yet to be finalized.

Auto Nagar Surya stars Naga Chaitanya and Samantha and is set to release soon.
